Her Sisters They Were Weak
Witchcraft Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The once was a king
Who live a palace uphill
He had three beautiful daughters
They had no free will

The king sold his soul
To the devil yes indeed
In return he was promised
Wealth and life eternally

The devil came riding one day
Upon his blackened horse
The princesses was his aim
They were destined to run his course

One of the girls were tall
More beautiful than blue skies
Her hair was colored bright
And she had white marble eyes

She will die

Sung backwards:
(Her sisters they were weak
They fell for the devil's charms
Mesmerizing eyes
They went right into his arms
Afraid to look around
The bright girl ran away
One last glance
And she saw her sisters pray.)

The king he sat alone
And listened to the sound




He rest upon his throne
While the palace hang on the ground

Overall Meaning

The song "Her Sisters They Were Weak" by Witchcraft tells the story of a king who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for wealth and eternal life. The devil makes a visit to the kingdom and sets his sights on the king's three beautiful daughters. The devil's aim is to make the princesses run his course and serve him. However, one of the girls, who is tall, stunning, and with bright hair and white marble eyes, is too strong-willed to succumb to the devil's charm, and she runs away in fear. The lyrics suggest that despite her strength, the bright girl faces a tragic ending, as the devil's hold over the kingdom takes its toll, and the palace and its inhabitants crumble.


The lyrics of this song are not as straightforward as they may seem at first glance. Although it seems like a simple fairy tale story about a king and his daughters, the song's meaning runs much deeper. One interpretation could be that the song is a metaphor for the seductive nature of power and the consequences it can bring. The king's desire for wealth and eternal life leads him to make a deal with the devil, which ultimately causes the downfall of the kingdom. The princesses, meanwhile, represent those who are trapped within a system and must suffer the consequences of the king's actions. The bright girl who runs away may symbolize those who are bold enough to fight back against corruption, but ultimately cannot outrun their fate.

I want them to make a movie about wizards dragons knights and mythological creatures kind of like narnia mixed with lord of rings but with weed and shrooms and wars and shit and witchcraft and electric wizard to collaborate and do all the music that would be sick as fuck!
